Coiling appears safer in the short term at least for ruptured brain aneurysms.
Coiling may be appropriate for many but not all ruptured brain aneurysms.
Coiling may be a less permanent and/or more uncertain form of treatment depending on the aneurysm's size and extent of coiling.
Some ruptured aneurysms that can appear "completely treated" by coiling can still rebleed, and this situation (although not commmon) tends to occur more often with apparently "completely coiled" aneurysms compared with apparently "completely clipped" aneurysms.
Coiling and open surgery are good alternatives, but the outcomes may be to some extent "operator-dependent", and the treatment choice should be made on a case-by-case basis.
Aneurysm clipping has proven its long-term effectiveness and worthiness over several decades.
I hope this is a help to you---------

it's caused by a narrowing of a vien in the brain and high blood pressure causes it to rupture
